Neutral Silk Ties

Neutral silk ties cover the colours that go with everything: black, ivory, sand, beige and a family of browns. Black and Black Ribbed are the obvious picks for evening and formal days, Ivory suits weddings, and the browns, from Adobe Brown and Almondine Brown to Burro Brown and Cinnamon, are made for tweed, tan and country clothes. Prints such as Adobe Brown Paisley and Navy and Brown Floral bring pattern to the same quiet palette.

If the tie is for you, a brown or sand tie fills a gap most drawers have. If it is a gift and you are unsure of his taste, black or ivory is hard to get wrong. Most of these can be personalised with up to three embroidered initials, all come in Classic (150cm x 8cm) or Slim (150cm x 6cm), a Luxury Box is offered on each, and most have a matching pocket square.
